Example—Dump Levels for Daily, Incremental
Backups

The
following example shows a schedule where you capture only a day's work on
different tapes. This type of backup is referred to as a daily, incremental
backup. In this case, sequential dump level numbers are used during the week
(3, 4, 5, 6) with a lower number (2) on Friday. The lower number on Friday
restarts the processing.

In the preceding example, you could have used the sequence 6, 7, 8,
9 followed by 2, or 5, 6, 7, 8 followed by 3. Remember, the numbers themselves
have no defined meaning. You attribute meaning by ordering them in a specified
sequence, as described in the examples.
